Honey Bee Black Tea

I drank this not too long ago and yet I don’t really remember it. It seems I enjoyed it well enough but I really can’t recall beyond the review.

Thanks for the share VariaTea – this sounds like a really interesting tea, and if it does taste like a strong, smooth black tea with honey then I will be a very happy tea drinker! I did add a little bit of coconut milk to my cup; I just couldn’t resist the whole “milk and honey” profile…

I actually liked this one a lot; it was definitely a bolder black tea flavour but it had a nice smoothness to it and rich notes of malt, cocoa, and French Bread. The honey flavour did come through clearly for me – more of a creamed honey taste, but that “cream” element might just be because I did add milk to my cup. I have to wonder, though, did I just enjoy this because I was already deeply in the mood for honey and black tea? I feel like that since I only found it good and not incredible that at least part of my experience was tainted. Sort of that whole “first impression bias” thing where you like a tea more the first time simply because it’s new. I feel like if I had the chance for repeat exposure, with this one, that I’d probably just find it average.

But who knows – and regardless I am happy to have had a pleasant experience.

sample from VariaTEA and this is kinda….meh? The website calls this one “An unparalleled combination of sweet and malty black tea with honey and honeybee pollen.” all i’m getting is a rather bland black tea. it’s not malty and i don’t get that honey taste at all. It MIGHT have something to do with the way it was stored or some such, so i’ll refrain from rating this one…but it’s about a 65 for me i’d say.
